Football lesson

Most of this Leicester City team is bound together by failure and rejection in recent years.

The two DANNY'S , SIMPSON and DRINKWATER, were let go by Manchester United as youngsters.

CHRISTIAN FUCHS and MARC ALBRIGHTON arrived as free agents, having been released by Schalke 04 and Aston Villa respectively.

HUTH was a promising young player for Jurgen Klinsmann's Germany and Jose Mourinho's Chelsea many years ago before falling off the train to stardom and ending up in the lower leagues.

Goalkeeper KASPER SCHMEICHEL was told he had no future at Manchester City and dropped all the way down to fourth-tier Notts County to get a game.

Captain Wes Morgan didn't play in England's top flight until he was 30.

Jamie Vardy, the club's top goalscorer, was playing semi-professionally until four years ago. A few years before that, he was playing amateur ball while wearing an ankle monitor, a condition of his probation after being found guilty of assault outside a pub.

Mahrez himself was overlooked by every youth academy in France since he was 18, and settled with low division teams in France till season when he joined relegation threatened Leicester.

Just a year ago, KANTE was a guy playing in front of a few thousand fans in the French second division.

PEOPLE MAY TELL YOU YOU SUCK AND SEND YOU AWAY... NEVER GET DISCOURAGED. CONTINUE WITH LIFE AND WORK HARD... YOUR DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU'LL MAKE IT AND THOSE WHO REJECTED YOU WILL CLAP FOR YOU.
